'Formed in 1968, the original Alice Cooper group became one of the biggest and most important rock bands of their time with a theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock and never seen before. Within five years they’ve released not less than seven studio albums, among these their international breakthrough album “School's Out” (including the Top 10 hit of the same name) and their US #1 follow-up album “Billion Dollar Babies” (1973). In October 2015, over 40 years later, record store owner and superfan Chris Penn convinced the original lineup to reunite for a very special performance. Alice Cooper (vocals), Michael Bruce (guitar), Dennis Dunaway (bass) and Neal Smith (drums) were joined on stage by Alice’s current guitarist Ryan Roxie (standing in for the late Glen Buxton). A packed audience, believing they had come to Good Records for Dennis Dunaway’s Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs! book signing, were surprised to bear witness to a full-blown happening. Alice Cooper performed all-time classics such as ‘No More Mr. Nice Guy’, ‘I’m Eighteen’ and ‘School’s Out’. Previously only released in strictly limited editions via Good Records in 2018, the historic reunion show is now available on CD only format. Luckily the event was documented. Live From The Astroturf, Alice Cooper (edited and directed by Steven Gaddis) toured the world to the acclaim of music fans and rock journalists alike.
